Cheryl, I too welcome you to MLU, and hope that you will remain a valued member and contributor. Herb is a fine gentleman whom I am privileged to know personally, and I'm sure he can help you. If he states your father deserved an MM for what he did, take that as fact. In WW2, many medal recommendations were downgraded by Montgomery's HQ, hence the MiD instead. Still, the latter is a high honour in that day.
I hope you will continue to keep us posted on the picture you are painting of your father and his life. You have a captive audience here!
Herb, welcome to you too! It's good to see you on MLU, but it's been far too long since we've shared a beer. We'll have to remedy that soon!
Geoff
